15 Week Survey

How Far Along? 15 weeks

Maternity Clothes? Yes. I am hoping the clothes that I currently have fit at least until the half-way point.

Stretch Marks? Yes, but I can't tell if they are old or new. ;)

Sleep? If you read my previous post, sleep is getting harder at times. I get really uncomfortable (my hips, my sciatic nerve, and sometimes my tummy) so I have to shift around a lot, not to mention the frequent bathroom breaks in the middle of the night. I am still getting a decent amount of sleep since I go to bed earlier than normal and sleep a little later than normal. I am resting as much as I can during the day though.

Best Moment of the Week? Feeling more movement. It's awesome.

Genders? We don't know yet. Like I said last week, I am hoping to find out in 7 or less weeks (if not at my next appointment). I had a dream last night that the nurse guessed 2 girls. Maybe it's because I have felt they would be 2 girls since I found out they were twins. Most people think one of each. I guess we will know soon enough. Obviously we don't care either way. We know God knows exactly what our family needs.

What I Miss? Sleeping really well at night (I usually hit the pillow and don't wake up for at least 8 hours). Being comfortable at times. Being able to run around with Luke.

What I Love? Like I say each week, carrying two miracles, eating without guilt, sleeping without guilt, and resting without guilt. I love seeing the way God provides no matter what our needs.

What I Am Looking Forward to This Week? Working more on our list and potential registry. Eating, resting, sleeping, and growing the babies.

Milestones? Getting the list written of everything we will need/want for the babies. It took a while, but I have an awesome Excel spreadsheet listing what we need by category, then brand, and whether we have it or not and where/how we plan to get it. It makes me feel in control somewhat ;)

Feeling the Babies Move? Yes. More and more all the time. I love it!

Other Thoughts? I had this weird thought/realization the other day. I realized I have done this before. I carried Luke in my belly for 9 months and delivered him, recovered, got him on a schedule, and have taken care of him for almost 4 1/2 years. I can do this again, even if it is two at the same time. God is good at reminding me that I can do this if I take it one day at a time and lean on Him.

Prayer Requests? Again, please just pray for my health, the babies' health, a great pregnancy and delivery, and that we all adjust well to the two newest additions to our family. I ask also that God get all the glory for this double miracle. None of this is done in our strength, but by clinging to Him each day.
